   At Merzol Technologies, I work as a technical founder focused on building AI-powered learning and knowledge systems. My work involves designing and developing products that transform long-form information into structured understanding. I lead the technical development of SnapLearn, an AI system that converts long YouTube videos into core insights, key ideas, narrative flow, and interactive learning elements. The product is designed to help users understand knowledge-dense content such as podcasts, lectures, documentaries, and research talks in significantly less time. Instead of passively watching hours of video, SnapLearn helps users quickly grasp the most important ideas and navigate the structure of the content. My responsibilities include product architecture, backend development, AI integration, user experience design, analytics instrumentation, and rapid product iteration based on user behavior and feedback. I focus on building fast experimental cycles to validate product ideas and improve the system continuously. At Merzol, the broader vision is to develop AI systems that enhance how people learn, process information, and explore knowledge online. The goal is to move beyond simple summarization and build tools that compress complex information into clear, structured understanding. Through building SnapLearn, I continue to experiment with new approaches to AI-assisted learning, knowledge exploration, and intelligent content navigation.
